. American bee journal. Bee culture; Bees. BLACK DOTS SHOW THE DISTRIBUTION OF BEEKEEPERS IN MONTANA Montana A Developing Honey-Producing Slate Prof. R. A. Cooley, State Entomolo- gist and Professorof lintomology at the Montana Agricultural College, Boze- man, Mont., has a map of the State into which he has inserted a large number of black-headed pins, each pin repre- senting the location of a beekeeper. There are close to 300 pins already in- serted in the map, and if bee-culture develops as it did in the past few years, the supply of pins may run short. There are as yet not more thanl 5,000 colonies of bees in the State, but the number is growing. There are some limits to beekeeping in Montana; namely, the valleys are as a rule nar- row and the winters are more severe than in the States of Idaho, Utah, Col- orado, Nevada, etc. Almost all of the bees are wintered on the summer stands, although some of the beekeepers are giving protec- tion. Some are trying cellar wintering. Montana beekeepers have organized and now have an enthusiastic associa- tion. Dr. Copenhafer, of Helena, is president, and Percy Kolb, of Billings, is secretary-treasurer. All Montana beekeepers should send their dues to Mr. Kolb and help Montana beekeeping to build up well and Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original [Hamilton, Ill. , etc. , Dadant & Sons]
